we begin tonight with this report from a town on america's southern border wrecked by grief. vigil to honor the road ragers a high school student killed today in washington to help pass only 15 years old bright polite and quick on his feet that's how his friends remember he will always be there for me. he was a really are. 2 a positive person. never negative. always happy. always trying to make it. they just said oh you don't. like us for. we have a really strong community and everybody here loves each other we're really big family. students parents teachers they came together at horizon high school just outside pastoral trying to come to terms with what they see as

a terrorist attack against hispanics all over the past so residents are willing after 30 days horrific events and they are hoping that the mass murder a crime committed by an alleged white supremacist from outside the town does not give a pass a bad name after all they say this is a diverse and tolerant place which has consistently ranked one of the safest cities in the u.s. for many years. a border city with an 80 percent latino population el paso has suffered under presidents trams and immigrant rhetoric and his administration's 0 tolerance policy at the border residents say christina garcia works for a local organization that helps immigrants and asylum seekers she says some of her clients are now terrified they feel like every client i've had interaction with

they've had to apologize for what happened this weekend and i've had to reassure them that we that we are going to be a safe community but for now they mourn the dead. people gather at the wal-mart store where the mass shooting took place president trump is expected to visit on wednesday and we respect him because he's the president but to be honest when welcome him we don't need him this was a very different city and what happened there was the worst thing that could happen to us and i know we are a lot of people know that if we will come his going to bring a lot of people that really hate his people. hate is not what should define us they say it's not what the united states is all about. hate in the u.s. my 1st guest tonight speaks with authority about the white supremacist movement in america because she used to be a member shannon vali martinez describes herself as

a former violent white supremacist she was able to change her heart and mind she now works with the free radicals project to help prevent radicalization of young americans she joins me tonight from our washington d.c. studio shanon we've you taken the time to talk with us tonight your story it's fascinating you entered the white supremacist movement when you were 15 years old what was it about your childhood that that made you susceptible. how it felt like i was the black sheep in my family i never felt like i had a really deep sense of belonging and then that expanded as i got older and then i would be sexually assaulted when i was 14 years old and the rage that came after that. had me looking for those who exhibited rage and the angriest people around me were at the white supremacist skinheads that were around me your family was not.

your family was in a strong bulwark against that. i didn't grow up in an overly are racist household. it was relatively dysfunctional but there was no overt violence for the most part my childhood echoes the childhoods of most of the people that grew up alongside me in the 1980 s. there was nothing that anyone would have seen in my life that would have alerted them at that point that my trajectory would go towards violent white supremacy and i understand when you were 20 years old you begin to leave the white supremacist movement how did that happen. i ended up not really having a place to live and i was very luckily taken in by a woman who displayed courageous compassion and chose to let me come live in her

home and rather than seeing the violent hate filled creature that i had become chose to see me instead as a hurting and struggling young woman and the stability and the unconditional acceptance that she gave allowed me to begin to disengage from this a failed ideology that had been so much in my life for the last 5 years in those 5 years you describe yourself as a former violent once the bruises i mean were you waking up in the mornings thinking which nonwhite person can i find today to to her to do bodily harm to a mean was that how your days were comprised for those 5 years. very often yes towards the end it actually became more militaristic and we were training with arms and strategic maneuvers. you know we sought to do

as much damage as we possibly could and spread the message of hate white supremacy everywhere we knew it would be the most upsetting and did you did you ever have the order or did you ever have the. going to actually kill people you know and so i and much like today even though i've been disengaged for 25 years it was still very much a leaderless. movement so there weren't sort of it there was there wasn't a hierarchy of orders coming down. very much even though i lived with a bunch of other white supremacists it very much it was sort of an organic choice of things to do and often the violence that we undertook whether as fights or violent harassment of people who were targeted flyer. synagogues or places of

worship that a lot of times it actually just sort of happened spur of the moment. you tweeted a couple of days ago something about periods and children in the u.s. who want to show our viewers this tweet you write parents. of white kids you are not powerless to keep your kids from being radicalized into white nationalism all right or for right belief systems the government isn't going to so we must so tell me what what do parents in the united states what do they need to do you know. in addition to my past i also am the mom of 7 children my oldest is 22 my youngest is 3 and so this has been my life for the last 22 years how do i hope human beings never look to the same things that i did how do i help them thrive so that hate and

violence is never part of their life. why people in america have got to look at our children and think my child is potentially a white supremacist terrorist and we have to just deal with that fact because we live in a white supremacist system that has been in place for hundreds of years and we still have not dismantled the realities and the systems that are in place with that but as parents we can talk about white supremacy we can talk about violence we can talk about systems of power and most importantly we can offer the antidote to the things that allow people to find resonance with those ideologies in the 1st place we can allow their voices to have agency and help them determine their futures we can honor the paths and identities that they are trying on as part of the

process of childhood now we can connect deeply with them that we can make sure that they always feel like they have a place to belong we can let them fail and falter and still support them and be in part of their lives we have got to talk to them about everything that our world is so complex and young people are starving for for dialogue about the complexities of the world that they face and we can give that to our children where you know what you're describing is what a good what a decent parent should do when it is you see appears to be a shortage in modern society and when asked about the government what is the government not doing that you think it should have the republicans have they given up everything to try. i think that it's politically expedient to stoke fears

particularly creating fears of whatever group of people that you want to other so in america that is very often black people very very blatantly the hispanic population. still king those fears is politically expedient if people are afraid they're easily they're easily controlled they're easily manipulated it's easy to get them to vote against their best interests and so there is in some sense our real strategic advantage to not addressing the historic racism that's a part of our country and has really you it hasn't it hasn't been done trump. the response was yes we'll have gun control and we'll tie it to immigration reform yeah there's a lot more of the same we're the same but. do you think he increased there we've seen in the us of white supremacy violence well i think his

language is incredibly culpable not only that but other rightwing influencers in the mainstream media and the mainstream political realm have utilized conspiracy theories that are very popular amongst the far right and all right that they've mainstream those ideas the words that we say affect how we think which affects how we act and so there the strategic messaging that is coming out of the white house and many within the republican party. is incredibly influential probably in ways that a lot of people are not even aware of that language is influencing their beliefs and how they're acting in the u.s. do you watch fox news. very occasionally i very occasionally it's not by any means my main news source but i do consume it

to understand and better have a finger on the pulse of what what the people who watch it are consuming let me ask you before we run out of time you know the president's home as opposed to travel to el paso texas to morrow some people have said that he's not welcome there others want him to try to be the consoler in chief should the president travel to opan so to morrow in your opinion. well as a mom one of the things that i have learned is to ask my children what they need from me do you need me just to listen would you like my input would you like my advice what do you need from me here if he is really going to be a strong leader finding out what the people of that city want would be a step of leadership if they are saying we are not ready and we do not want you here we are grieving then the best leadership he can provide is honoring that

request you know where we will see what he does tomorrow shannon foley murkiness joining us tonight from our washington office is former white supremacist talking to us about how you can change the hearts and minds of people and you start with your children janet thank you very much we appreciate your time and your story thank you. thank you for having me. well al paso texas is now at the epicenter of america's domestic terrorism but it has ties to something else as well the city just across the border the city of seo dog is considered to be one of mexico's most violent cities up until last weekend el paso ranked as one of america's safest places well this explains why you see it odd juarez has become a magnet and a waiting place for central american migrants seeking asylum in the u.s. but as our next report reveals that weight can be a miserable. many of the emergency shelters on the mexican side of the border

a full but people continue to arrive the u.s. is sending migrants back here across the border until there are silent applications of processed. this is the detention center in el paso asylum seekers describe what they've experienced there not he said during those they searched everything and touched us everywhere a woman next to me told the border guard to stop touching her but they just continued to make booking. even remove her sanitary pads to see if she was hiding something that they mean even though men were present at us think vietnam base. emily is 18 years old she would only talk to us after she was certain that no one was watching she's seen a lot she fled guatemala on foot then continued by train in may she arrived in the

us and was separated from my family because she's already considered an adult you know me a bit of those my mother said no that's my daughter you can't take her away they answered by saying it's a different process for her yeah you ignored my mother to tears and simply took me away anyway i didn't know what to do. you know even after being sent back to mexico and billy and her mother can't stay in the same facility emily now lives in the border city of ciudad juarez along with thousands of other asylum seekers they're waiting for their appointment with us immigration chicken pox is going around the center and despair is everywhere many give up and leave voluntarily anyone wanting to enter the u.s. legally has to put their name on a waiting list in ciudad juarez alone around 5000 people have registered few of the new with asylum seekers even get an appointment with u.s. authorities. i mean but it's amazing when i think the entire system is unfair the

migrants have to wait for their appointment here in mexico and they're ultimately rejected that's what happens in 9 out of 10 cases anyway. the sound of solving echoes through the emergency center no v.m. out of sela is 33 years old she left us with the children and now finds herself completely alone. give me your only help it's unbearable having to stay here my whole body hurts my back my arms and they just gave me pain killers nothing else. but no viewer is not alone. many people here say that the conditions are terrible the realities of migration on both sides of the border are brutal. china today if you did starkest warning yet to protesters in hong kong the

government spokesman in beijing said that punishment for the protests is coming in only a matter of time beijing adding that protesters should not mistake the government's restraint for weakness well. i would like to warn all those criminals don't ever misjudge the situation a mistake our strength or weakness him or don't have a underestimate the powerful force of justice in hong kong society to safeguard the rule of law and maintain peace and order were earlier today we spoke with joshua want he's an activist and he's secretary general of the pro democracy group democracy stop this is what he had to say about that threat from beijing. we continue i will fight and we hope to let you know that hong kong people at the start democracy free election is the right and joy by loss of people in germany since last century and hong kong people are still fighting for it of course we are

all show what kind of price we took a $500.00 activists were arrested safety off down were prosecuted also quite yet made worse than 2 and they were detained a hospital we are sure will and it will be 2 separate fires to look but at the will continue on to what they will have democracy and now is the long term battle on to the rule of president xi jinping by the joshua was speaking earlier from hong kong well as you heard the demonstrations there they show no sign of abating just yet our correspondent charlet chelsea until is in the midst of the protesters the police and the tear gas she sent us this report. from. the scene as we arrived the calle speaking. to her son. her current girlfriend her current problems for.

the world to see her on. the run home. is the take as clear as protesters slowly return. among them dozens of local residents. many joining chunks demanding police retreat. curious bystanders watching all of stunned at the scene unfolding in this normally quiet neighborhood the police call for more backup as the need once again tense dog the showdown begins the day was that although it was the outcome. the no further on the road was wrong was on the front of the hour the the in the each side waiting for the other to make the

1st move but is threatening to tip this standoff over the edge. the. place to midnights the police may be. sending people scattering. with the case cleats theorists begin. to die the only way out this is a residential area one woman screams people here one to wearing face must die down . the mall protest is a sweatshop is the police round on the struggle is really the only really. clear one he wanted it to end this way most of. those arrested face up detainees in prison if that charge with riots and other it's a heavy price to pay for a night on the streets the her and her the to her.

finally tonight life and death and the power of words we see all too often the lethal consequences when the language of heat is applied to people who are seen as the other that is one reason why this quote from the american author toni morrison seems so salient today she once said we die that may be the meaning of life but we do language that may be the measure of our lives. well those words from toni morrison who passed away today she was 88 morrison was the 1st african-american woman to win the nobel literature prize back in 1903 she also won a pulitzer and the american book award for her novel beloved about an in slaves that woman who kills her baby to spare her other child from slavery or works were praised for shedding sharp courageous light on the african-american experience

she always said that for a writer the nobel prize was the pinnacle for an act that begins with pittman ship and the hand and coleman a seat in composing a song for the soul but i think the chemical for writing. has got to be the nobel prize. for other kinds of things on the scout. you know something like the. lifetime achievement award is most. toni morrison dead at the age of $88.00. and their reps of the day see tomorrow. sometimes.
